Frets of Fire

[imnotmikal]

Are you too poor to pay for a $75-100 game and guitar mix?
Look no further, use your keyboard as a guitar and play:
Frets on Fire!

Well, now that that's out of the way,
It's pretty much a Guitar Hero rip-off, but fun non-the-less
Some in game pics:
(Not mine, I'm too lazy to get my own, these are off the internet)




This is how you hold your keyboard:
F1-F5 keys are the fret buttons, and enter or shift is the pick.


I have a laptop, so I had to scrounge up my old wireless keyboard, or else it wouldn't be as fun!

I used to play it and had custom songs, but then GH came around....

[imnotmikal]

Oh... Was it out before Guitar Hero?

[xmodificationer]

I mean before I got GH. But its pretty cool since you can put your own songs on it.

[imnotmikal]

Oh I thought you meant you played it until Guitar Hero came out.
Haha.

i just downloaded it and it locked up my mac

[imnotmikal]

Well it sucks for you.
You got the mac version right?
And also, make sure your firewall is set to allow it, I had to restart my computer, it locked up too the first time, but i changed my firewall settings it was ok.

[imnotmikal]

It would be amusing to me if I was a teacher and I saw students playing it.
Just look at how you're supposed to hold the keyboard and picture students doing that in class...
